Then, a shot rang out and Nikolas was hit. Luke saw movement on the street below. The detectives on site then called in a description and location of the shooter.

Sabrina was happy Emma was at the hospital with Elizabeth for her graduation. Felix apologized to Sabrina for pushing her towards Patrick. Sabrina replied that she knew Patrick was putting distance between them. Felix said he’d been stood up too, but then Sabrina saw Milo nearby. Felix got nervous and told her that he didn’t expect him to show. Milo asked if they were excited. They discussed education and Milo said he’d love to get his GED and go to massage school. Felix was for all for it. Then, Epiphany called for the nurses. As diplomas were passed out Epiphany told Felix, “You and me are going to have fun.” When Sabrina received her diploma Patrick yelled, “Way to go Sabrina.” Epiphany then welcomed the Class of 2013. Sabrina told Patrick she was happy that he came. She then put on her mother’s stethoscope. Then, Patrick told her that he wanted to talk. In the corner Milo told Felix that he was inspired and congratulated him. Felix invited him to The Floating Rib to celebrate. Milo asked if Sabrina would be there and if Felix could put in a good word for him. Then, Felix realized Milo was interested in Sabrina. Milo then told Felix that he was concerned she might be taken but Felix assured him she was available.

At the PCPD Anna left a message for someone to call her, she said it was urgent and that lives depended on it. Dante then made his own call to get information on Lulu. Olivia showed up. He requested her help by using her visions, but she saw nothing. Dante got frustrated, started yelling at Olivia, Anna saw he was losing it and asked him to take a break. Then, he told her how worried he was about how long Lulu had been missing. As he apologized to Olivia, Anna told him shots were fired at his apartment. They arrived at the scene and the detective told them that the family was evacuated and that Nikolas was shot. Anna wanted info from Dante about Nikolas. Dante shared what he knows about the Spencers and the Cassadines. Then, they were told about the suspect, who was spotted in the park and ran outside. In the park they cornered the shooter who was Shawn Butler.

In the park Britt suspected her mother was in Port Charles for reasons other than visiting her. Obrecht said she wanted to visit and that other unrelated business was being taken care of. She then asked where Britt’s engagement ring was and accused her of letting Sabrina ruin her relationship. Britt then complained about Sabrina and Emma. Obrecht replied that the problem of the wife was removed before she even met the doctor. Then, she suggested getting Britt’s father involved. Britt said that she didn’t want “Papa” involved and looked scared at the mere thought of him knowing her current situation. Obrecht then told her to redouble her efforts or she would call her father. Britt said she would have done better if her mother ever had any maternal instinct. Obrecht slapped Britt and threatened her that she could take her out of the world too. Britt cried and her mother chastised her. Obrecht then said even if the mouse and Patrick got together they had one surefire way of pulling them apart.

Nikolas was brought into GH. Luke repeatedly tried to get Nikolas to tell him who had Lulu if he knew. Elizabeth came in and was surprised to see Nikolas. Epiphany threatened Luke to stay out of the way. Laura said if she found out who did this she would kill them with her bare hands. Elizabeth is at Nikolas’ side and told him to stay with them as things turned critical.

In the park Shawn surrendered to Dante and Anna. He said that he didn’t shoot Nikolas. He told them that he heard the shot and went looking for the shooter. Shawn then saw movement and pushed Anna out of the way as a shot rang out. There was a shootout. Dante chased the shooter. Anna saw that Shawn had been hit. She left him to look for the ambulance. Shawn heard movement behind him and reached for his gun but as he turned toward the shooter; Dante came from behind telling the shooter to drop his weapon. Nearby, Obrecht gave Britt a hard time while she cried. She believed Britt still had a chance to surprise Patrick. Britt thought it was too late. Obrecht asked Britt for ideas and wondered if she had to handle everything on her own. Britt mentioned the Nurses’ Ball. Then, Anna ran up asking for Britt’s help. Obrecht heard the exchange. Then, Anna and Britt returned to Shawn. Britt left quietly upon seeing the ambulance. She was surprised to see her mother waiting. She then told Britt that the Nurses’ Ball was the perfect place to spring their surprise on Dr. Drake.

Elsewhere, Anna tried to stop Dante from attacking the shooter. He demanded that he tell him where Lulu was. The shooter then started foaming at the mouth and collapsed. Anna pulled Dante off him saying he had taken a cyanide pill and was dead. Dante was distraught.

At GH Milo asked Felix if he minded if he asked Sabrina out. He said that he didn’t but Emma then piped up and said she did because she wanted Sabrina to date her daddy. Patrick listened to Sabrina apologizing for her feelings before he could get a word out. Then, Milo joined them and asked Sabrina if he could escort her to the party at The Floating Rib. Patrick got beeped and left before Sabrina answered Milo. He was disappointed when he later saw them walking off together. Emma and Felix were disappointed too. Later, Epiphany asked Patrick why he wasn’t going to the party. He explained that he didn’t want to get in the way of Sabrina and her date Milo. Epiphany called him out for being jealous, and snickered that he had let Sabrina go off with Magic Milo. She then got Patrick to admit he did think of Sabrina in that way.

At The Floating Rib, Molly told TJ that Alexis was at the PCPD getting help for Rafe Jr. They saw the nurses celebrating and Molly told TJ she wanted to attend the Nurses’ Ball. He invited her, but asked if she’d rather go with Rafe Jr. She replied that makes her TJ happy and she agreed to go with him. Then, Felix, Emma, Sabrina and Milo arrived.

Bobbie confessed that she wished he would find a nice young man to settle down with. They toasted happy to see each other again.

Milo visited Patrick at the hospital and asked for his permission to see Sabrina because she had feelings for Patrick even if he didn’t feel the same way. Patrick replied, “Who said I don’t feel the same way?” Milo explained his feelings but said if Patrick had dibs on Sabrina he would back off.

Milo stepped away and Sabrina told Felix that she would have blown Milo off for Felix. Felix told her that their troubles were his fault and hugged her. All of a sudden Lucy started rallying the performers for rehearsal when a familiar voice rang out, “Richard’s here with joy and cheer!” Lucy gave Richard Simmons a hug and announced he was choreographing their opening number, a song he wrote for the ball inspired by his gossip with Nurse Amy Vining. They started the music and practiced dancing the “Luke and Laura Dance.” Lucy shut the music off after hearing all of Port Charles’ secrets in the lyrics. Richard defended his song as being the truth didn’t doesn’t care about offending Monica. He thought Bobbie would let him do it. Lucy argued it was her Nurses’ Ball. Epiphany broke up the fight. Sabrina piped up and asked for a compromise. Lucy said the song was out and Richard replied, “No music, no choreographer,” and left throwing a goodbye to Milo. Sabrina brainstormed and TJ offered Molly up as a lyricist and thought he could do the music. Felix then said that they still needed a choreographer and Anton volunteered to help. Lucy wanted proof. Anton said he needed a partner. Felix volunteered but Anton invited Sam, who declined. Epiphany stepped forward and Lucy decided she would test out Anton’s skills. While Sabrina was busy Milo declined an incoming call from Patrick on her cell and deleted his message.

Helena requested Luke’s gun for Laura’s life. Luke obliged and Laura demanded Helena give back their daughter. Helena replied that she didn’t know what her sons ever saw in Laura. Laura asked if she would shoot them like she had Nikolas shot. Helena was shocked and upset to hear of Nikolas’ shooting. Luke asked, “If you didn’t have him shot then who did?” Helena didn’t believe them and slapped Luke for his wise-cracking. Laura called GH to prove it. Alexis picked up Scott’s phone in Nikolas’ room. Alexis told them she would stay there until he was out of the woods. She was caught off guard when Helena said to see that she did or she “slit your throat just I did to your mother.” Helena hung up and Laura demanded to see Lulu.
